Will I look fat if I eat this whole fish?
Errrr, no, but, but you might look a little weird if you swallow it whole.
On second thought, you are looking a tad chunky……
and weird!
It’s a gull eat fish world out here in Cour d’Alene!
We are road tripping again, and our next stop is Glacier National Park. I haven’t been able to read your blogs as much as I would like to since we are traveling, but cheers to you from the happy, albeit quite chubby, gull from Coeur d’Alene!

Wonderful photos, Cindy. Perfect image for gluttony!
I should put it on my frig!
Impressive images, Cindy! You captured great moment!
Thank you! Of course all fish would disagree! 😉 😉
Great photos!
Mil grazi!
Owww. That looks painful. I wouldn’t want to go up against that gull in any of those food eating contests that are all the rage. Happy journeys. 😀
All I can say is I am very glad I am too big for him to swallow!
:D:D:D
I wonder if gulls get indigestion!
Especially when they eat and fly like this one. Didn’t his mother teach him anything?
Great pictures I think it’s amazing how much some animals can eat in one mouthful or swallow..like a snake they just dislocate their jaws and can swallow something quite large compared to their size I wonder how big that bird can eat without choking, their digestive juices must be very strong to break down a piece of food like that 🙂 interesting 🙂
You think exactly like me! These are all the things I wondered about too. I have seen our roadrunner running with a snake hanging out of his mouth. I wasn’t sure if he was engaged in digesting or just swallowing! 😉
Nice to meet a like minded soul…I can think of a few who would be thinking oh no not two like her..ha ha…I think another one is good 🙂
Definitely! Strength in an n of 2! 😉
Absolutely fantastic set of photos – as always! And very interesting moment but not good time for the fish… Bye. Have a nice weekend. Kamila
Yes this was a sad day for the poor fish. At least it all happened very quickly.
Ah! Cour d’Alene – my husband grew up in that area of Idaho! Beautiful!
It is gorgeous with really genuinely friendly people!
yes – 😀
Love this so much. Great job!
Awwww, so pleased!
Love Coeur d’ Alene…we had a home in Post Falls in 2000 and enjoyed watching the moose journey on our street each day….imagine…we sold that home 3 years later and moved to Las Vegas!!!! Culture shock. Thanks for the memories😀
We were just in Post Falls. Beautiful! Must have been hard to leave!
It was indeed. But both my husband’s job and mine took us to Las Vegas, mine Real Estate..his High rise steel buildings…we still miss the peaceful life we enjoyed in Idaho..
We just left to Montana, but I understand why people would want to live in their “own private Idaho.”
What a fantastic series of shots. I bet he had a little indigestion…:)
Or maybe even A LOT!!! 🙂
LOL!
I felt that hungry at lunch yesterday, Cindy. 🙂 Great photos!
Cracking up……..I feel this way too frequently too! 😉
AMAZING captures – it’s hard to believe that until we moved to the Northern Hemisphere I’d never seen a seagull eat anything but french fries or trash – how sad is that?! 🙂
That is sad, the are such intelligent and interactive birds.
Great picture, stunning what they can eat and digest.
I was pretty stunned and I grew up around gulls!
Hmm, I thought fish was a healthy food!! Guess that gull should’ve grabbed a pizza instead!!
Laughing!! He must never have been taught the golden rule, “Everything in moderation.” Of course I was taught this, I just often don’t like to follow it! 😉
There was a look of steely determination in that gull’s eyes – the fish was going nowhere except down the aptly-named gullet! RH
Cracking up! Yes that fish was what the gull ‘et! 😉 😉
Oh dear, funny proof that eating isn’t always graceful! 🙂
Sometimes it is just soooooo good, you can’t help but gulp it down!
Absolutely!
This was an either greedy or very hungry bird Cindy, great photos: -D
Take care, enjoy and stay safe.
She could be both of course, I sometimes am! 😉
Wow. This is my city!!! I wish I would have known you were coming. We could have met for lunch!!!
Awwwww, would have loved it, we could have had fish! 🙂
For sure. Loved your photos. Enjoy Glacier!!!
<3
What the heck, don’t they take any time to chew and digest!! Awesome shots Cindy!
I know, disgusting, just like me tonight with the huckleberry pie! That stuff is GOOD!!!
So funny!
<3
wowwwwwwwwwwwwwww very spectacolary shots!
ciao !
Awwwwww, gracias mi amiga! <3
Made me smile I guess when a gull is hungry, she’s hungry. Great series of photos!
Yep, just like me, unfortunately!
Sumptuous! \(*‿*)/
Very fresh sashimi!! Yummy!
Love road trips!
They are so much fun because you don’t have to take any planes!
I have a montage that is similar to yours that I need to post. A seagull eating a starfish whole! It was certainly impressive!
Oh my God! That would be amazing!
This is a sight to see, gulls in a late side city eating fish.
Here on the Gold Coast you see, sea gulls eating taker way, fast food and yet they keep slim.
Cracking up, yes the plumb lake bird was news to me too! Cheeers to you Jack~
“The Birds” is a damn scary movie for a reason! Lovely photos.
Too true!
Reblogged this on Smorgasbord – Variety is the spice of life and commented:
More wonderful photography from Cindy Knoke – do I look fat if I eat this whole fish..well ya…
Laughing, sometimes it hurts to tell the truth! Thank you for your kind friendship Sally~
Pleasure Cindy.. enjoy the visits very much.
<3 <3
Holy, it did eat the whole fish. Where did it fit in that little bird is my question.
How did it immediately fly off after swallowing this whale is my question? Laughing…..
That creature must have a stomach made for bombs I guess
Fantastic pictures!!
Merci beaucoup!
My question too, and also how did it manage to fly away a few seconds after that last photo? Must ‘a been a heavy takeoff!
This has given me a very happy chuckle.
<3
ahaahh great captures! funny post 🙂
Grazi & cheers!
Wow, great sequence!! Amazing what this bird can swallow.
It is a lot to swallow I know! 😉
Seagulls in Idaho?!
Yep, they must like fresh water fish! 😉
Talk about eyes bigger than it’s mouth!!!
Laughing, yes! It is just too ridiculous not to be true! 🙂
Wow that’s a big catch. The wonders of nature! And the scene so nicely and vividly captured by you! Cheers to you, Cindy!
Love hearing from you Halim! Be well my friend~
Still hard to believe birds can swallow fish almost as big as them…whole. It’s like me trying to down ten In-n-Out Double-Doubles in one swallow. Wonderful series, Cindy.
hehehehe! I am trying to visualize you trying! 😉 😉
Love it!
<3
Beautiful Pictures, thank you very much Cindy….❤️❤️❤️
Thank you more for the appreciation!
It’s in our nature to be hungry and beautiful! <3
Love it & it is so true!
Greedy sod!
hehehe…..see above comment! he was just VERY hungry!!!! 😉 😉
Es una secuencia genial. Felicidades, Cindy.
Mucha gusta mi amiga y abrazos tan bien! <3
Aww! Look at him! He’s a very chubby gull! I think he would have become very fat consuming a whole fish like that! Talk about greedy gulls 😉 He’s huge lol Brilliant photos and great subject matter 🙂 Wolfie would cheerfully gobble them both up for Sunday lunch!!!!
Wow! It is what they do, and it is great you happened to be around with your camera. Thank you for sharing this fun study of a hungry bird 🙂
He was pretty hilarious and quick!!!
Wow, I’m totally stunning! how could he… and how did you capture it? 🙂 Amazing shots, Cindy!
He just a hungry, hungry bird. I get like this sometimes, but don’t tell anyone! 😉
What clarity and color in these portraits, Cindy. We enjoyed this area on our cross country journey one year.
Wow, did your cross the whole country? That’s ambitious!
Five times. SF to SC and back and loved every trip. Many National Parks and stops for great food and photography! 🙂 A beautiful country.
It is indeed! <3
Cindy, the images from the hungry seagull are awesome. Thank you for sharing! Hugs! Veraiconica
Hugs to you my friend and wonderful to hear from you!
Love these pics of the ravenously hungry seagull. And he didn’t even use a napkin. Wow.
